This week, in Lake Charles, Louisiana, there seems to be multiple people with motives for murder, when a brutally murdered man is found, on a dirt road, seemingly murdered while changing a tire. His wife & her best friend are suspects, along with the woman he's having an affair with & that woman's husband, and possibly a few others.

This week, in Arcadia Township, Michigan, it's a mystery, when a woman is found dead, floating in a lake, near a boat dock. Her husband says that he left the area, and she just disappeared, but the evidence tells a slightly different story, with her smashing to the concrete, before somehow ending up in the lake.

#574 - Murder Selfies - Lucin, Utah
This week, in Lucin, Utah, a genuine mystery grips this extremely rural area, when a young man, trying to farm some remote land, disappears into thin air. There are a few suspects, including a local criminal, who walks the area with no shoes, and a big gun. There's also the local squatter, who seems to have had trouble with everyone. Eventually, some very incriminating pictures, from a retrieved cell phone solve the whole thing!! Along the way, we find out that land in ghost towns is super affordable, that rumors & gossip seem to be more ridiculous & spread faster, the smaller the town, and that you should never take a picture of yourself, with the victim's phone, while covered in blood!!
